Messrs. Gradwohl, John Gels.
Weis, Lott, Bush, Bier, and q. A.
LitOwich returned this morning from
Kansas city. They report n good
time, but complain Of the immensely
Of the crowd, it being so great that
comfort was thing unknown. John
Gels and Mr.. Bush were on the Ninth
street cable ear, which was lust
ready 10 start mp town from the de-
pot, when the cable strand broke and
came laundering down the track
along side Of the ear, which was
loaded with passengers ready for the
uptown trip. The coil Of wire ex-
tended fifteen feet i'm the air, and
made nniss equal Ia a Kansas ev-
clone. II Il had struck the crowded
car, probably but few of the passen-
gers would have lived Ia tell the
story. They all saw and heard il
coming, and sort of suppressed
fear, dreadful in it, quiet calm, took
possession Of the passengers "a they
sat there awaiting their fate. At
one moment the rushing strand flew
under the loaded car, hut out again
without doingRny damage, and then
on down the hill. Soon IL was got
under control. and IL Eas discovered
that over 1000 feet Of cable had been
unstrung. After the mOmentary
calm, when the danger had passed,
ladies tainted, and indeed strong men
gave way-all feeling that they had
experienced a close call. Those bro
ken strands have been known to de-
stroy solid brick walls, and IL il had
struck the car, the result wOvld nave
been terrible less OF life. The in
cident, however, was soon forgotten,
aud the companions who were for |
the moment linked together in fear
full peril, distributed through the |
vast multitude, eager to see all that
was to be seen.

We congratulate the Brookvill,
Transcript on its courageous eOurs,
in hosting the Republican ticket
and according to it a hearty support
The Transcript is aetuated by a spir-
Il Of right and not from any exped-
ieney. Rockville Is n little grouty
because Mr.. Ingrahsm was not nom
mated by the Republican cOnven-
ton for County Treasurer, and the
Democracy Is seeking TO take advan-
tage Of the matter; and the nomini =
tiOnof Mr.. Gentry for Sheriff follow
ed. But Mr.. Gentry will not BE-
elected, nor will any part Of the
Democratic county ticket. So to
speak the Republicans are not
"mOnkeying with the band wagon"
and the $40 TO 900 Republican ma
jOrity can not be overcome by any
system Of artifiee or device. As Ia
Mr.. lngraham he Is a good man, and
his % votes TO 90 votes Of Clarence
Wilson, who II serving his first
term ~ County Treasurer, Il a CON-
plinent Jf which Mr.. Ingraham and
his friends may well be proud.
The Transcript will feel better for
having fought the good fight and
will retain the respect and good will
Of the Republican party throughout
the county for its straightforward
and consistent course.
